Section 6 Troubleshooting
6.14.13 PAC#_VOLTS, Power Supply Fault
This fault is activated if the supply voltage to the PAs under the control of an individual
PA Controller is under 30Vdc or over 65Vdc. All PAs under that controller (and power
supply) will be muted and switched out. Remember that all 8 PAs controlled by PA
Controller 1 are fed from Power Supply 1, PS2 and PAC2, PS3 and PAC3, PS4 and
PAC4.
NOTE:
A severe AC phase imbalance or complete loss of phase could trigger this fault. If
an AC phase loss fault is logged at approximately the same time, then this fault
should be ignored.
6.14.14 PAC#_-15V, Fault
This is a critical fault since the affected PA Controller has basically lost its muting
ability if the -15V is lost. This fault causes a system mute, effectively taking the
transmitter off the air.
6.14.15 PAC#_J#, Cable Fault
There are four cables connected to each PA Controller, at J1, J2, J11 and J12. J1 and J2
connect to the Isolation Boards, while J11 and J12 connect to the Z Planes. The PA
Controller boards have ID jumpers to select the board as PA Controller 1, 2, 3 or 4. The
Z Planes have ID jumpers to select whether they are Z Plane A, B, C or D. The Isolation
Boards also have ID jumpers to select the Z Plane they are used with. The ID Jumpers
are necessary because the 4 PA Controllers, the 4 Z Planes and the 4 Isolation Boards
are physically the same. Cabling of these boards is critical because it determines the
control distribution (basically which PAs are controlled by which PA Controller). The
ID’s are checked by the PA Controllers. If the PA Controller does not see the proper ID,
the transmitter will be muted and the fault log will display one of the following
depending on which cable is mis-connected (or disconnected):
•
PAC#_J1
•
PAC#_J2
•
PAC#_J11
•
PAC#_J12
